As one would expect, far-left, sources (yes, even the site Crooks and Liars, home of the hippie punching blogger) are claiming that yesterday's October 2 'One Nation' rally's attendance exceeded Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally of August 28.

Too bad this aerial picture of the One Nation rally has surfaced (goherefor a 3000 + pixel version of the One Nation aerial picture, according to the meta data, it is from 12:04 EDT, just after the start of the event. ):Updated: This photo was taken from the Washington Memorial. The key is to narrow in on the lawn areas to the left and the right of the reflective pool. As the AP notes, "Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck's rally. But Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally." Many of the press photos of One Nation are cleverly shot in front of the Lincoln Memorial, thus giving the illusion of a far greater crowd size.

As you can clearly see, the crowd density is 10, 20 times that of the as the aerial picture from the One Nation rally clearly shows.

Updated: American Power has a date-stamped, side by side version of the above:

Another beyond the aerial picture of the One Nation rally disregarded by the press is just how undeniably far-left the crowd was. Here is a picture from Doug Ross's "15 Photos from the One Nation Rally...."

Ah yes, chidren masquerading for socialism. Ain't that grand?

Be sure to check out the rest of Doug Ross's pictures from the One Nation rally. Jim Hoft has proof that press sources used photos from Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally to juice the attendance.

Charlie Martin at PJM provides a very fair estimate of the One Nation rally here and proves that Crooks and Liars fulfill the latter part of their name, "there isn't a satellite passing by overhead, anytime you want one," he says.

The extremists of the left-wing had their march yesterday and now look at the garbage they left on our National Mall in Washington D.C.

This disgusting video shows what a few foreign tourists found on the Nation Mall in D.C. after the pigs and slobs of the left-winger’s “On Nation” rally left that public space. A pig sty mess left for our tax dollars to have to pay to clean up. Just like a leftists to make others pa for their mess, isn’t it?

By comparison, the same space was clean as a whistle after Glenn Beck’s crowd left.

Not only were thousands of supporters given free rides by unions and the NAACP to the rally, far left teachers at High School for Math, Science and Engineering were giving students class credits to attend.

High School kids are forced to attend the one Nation rally in order to graduate. SSL (Student Service Learning) hours are required by many state governments to graduate High School, so kids must attend these rallies. Apparently, the organizers were willing to use any means to bring thousands to the rally.

LCR: Despite what extreme left bloggers write, anyone with eyes to see and a brain to think realizes how vast and genuine the Beck/Tea Party-based rally was in comparison. I think the elite Democratic leadership is pissing all over itself this morning -- they KNOW the truth, even if they don't admit the truth.

Extra-bonus for Nov. 2nd -- check out this HillBuzz article and contemplate who will be the next Senate Majority Leader, as Reid is going down.

Great blog and info. Photos from many sources do not lie. But the left will. Beck and that rally had more people. A lot more. I'm sorry I missed this rally. I mean Ed "the buffoon' Schultz and Joe "oh come on you're full of it" Madison together? Hopefully the zoo came and picked up these 'two sack of suds' afterwards. Take care.

I've always said that there are more of us than them. It just seems like they have more because they are louder, and one of the biggest loudmouths was at their puny gathering yesterday in DC: Ed Schultz.

Regarding the trash left behind: I have been in countless leftists homes, having been around them my whole life. As anti consumerism, anti free markets as they are, I have seen more crap inside of their homes than I ever have in the residences of conservatives. Just an amazing amount of junk, and they are all in debt because of it. Also, if you think for a second that lefties are committed "ecological warriors," take a walk through the streets of Berkeley CA. Telegraph ave. especially looks and smells like any skid row. Sort of a "hipster" bowery. If urine, vomit, stale booze, years of reefer smoke and garbage throughout the streets is your idea of utopia, go to Berkelely, Arcata, San Francisco... any place where the left hangs its berets.

By the way, Tim, congratulations on your ascendency as a columnists, as evidenced by your articles at The Daily Caller, and Pajamas Media. As an early reader of LCR, I'm proud to see you make your mark. Good job, dude. :)

Hey LCR..... I have been trying to find a time stamp on that photo. Cuz the right will be torn apart if that photo was taken to early. We need a confirmed picture at the peak of the event. BUT I do find it amazing that I can not find the above picture or any other overview on any lib website. The favorite picture of the libs is ground level from the Lincoln Memorial which makes the crowd look huge. Keep hearing about the Satilite photo but haven't seen it yet. Another clue that the libs are too embarrassed by the turn out. Beck had arial photos up immediately. I would also like to hear CBS analysis of numbers. They did it for Beck so why not One Nation?I so curious because I am concerned about the size of our current socialist/communist population. These are the people we fought against for over 40 years and now its okay to have marches proudly. Freedom of speach is on thing but I call fundemental change TREASON.

People were still marching toward the rally at 12:04 PM. Like many other people, I wasn't there until around 1 PM. I can tell you that when I did arrive, there was much more than what you see in this aerial photograph.

Shadows way too long for noon or early afternoon. See the link to the larger version - shadows of objects, people are as long as the objects themselves. Long shadows - early AM or late PM. Pic is nowhere near noon.

"When compiling sharp conservative thoughts and takes for my Morning Jolt newsletter late at night and early in the morning, I find myself coming back to Left Coast Rebel again and again." -Jim Geraghty, National Review"Hey Tim, I appreciate the kind email and the plug on your site. It’s rare that my first feedback isn’t hate mail from a disgruntled statist! You carry on too – we’ve got our work cut out for us." -Tad DeHaven, Cato Institute"Thanks so much for all YOU do for liberty and individual rights. I appreciate your strong voice for capitalism. We're changing the culture -- keep it up!" -Jonathan Hoenig, Fox News"Congrats Tim. You have arrived." -GatewayPundit"Before we sell California to China or go Lex Luther on the San Andreas Fault, let's be sure to save the Left Coast Rebel." -Barack Obama's Cousin, Milton R. Wolf, M.D.

"I like LCR because it seems like more thought goes into posts there than at many other blogs that focus more on horse-race politics." -Nate Nelson, United Liberty
